[3.0] "This show was weird. Why would you start the show out like this after such a huge PPV? They're just not concentrating on the right things. Also, Orton moving to raw? Fine move, good stuff. But the way they did it seemed like they're sorta re-booting him. Giving him that big introduction about his lineage and how he's gonna be such a great superstar or has great potential, etc. It was weird. "The next big thing" moniker works with lesnar because he's a heel and fans don't want to be told who the next big thing is, so that helps us hate him. For orton, it seems they want to make him a face so I'm not sure why they're going this route with him. It didn't work for the rock, yet they're sorta doing the same shit now, at least it seems that way in this episode. Having Flair come in later on in the episode to explain his actions on Unforgiven was what I expected to open the show. It's like they're just swerving for the sake of swerving. Typical nitro bullshit really. One thing I like is now Booker T's spinarooni is gaining traction as a legit move and it shows that the writers still care about Booker's character growth. Also I sorta feel bad for the big show it's like they have no idea what to do with him. He started off hot in WWF with different angles but now they just throw him in wherever. Kane came back from injury a few weeks ago and talks normally and breakdances. This episode he kisses terri. Don't know what's going on with Kane."

[3.0] "A really tough episode to get through. A real sluggish show.Jeff Hardy gets beaten by Big Show. Jeff was getting a push about a month ago. Remember the ladder match for the championship vs Taker? Guess the plug was pulled on Jeff. Randy debuts on RAW here and Goldust gets a random IC shot against Jericho. Kane and Hurricane beat the Un-Americans for the tag titles which was a nice moment but came out of absolutely nowhere. Booker T defeats Rico in 2 minutes, what? why? Rico just got the biggest win of his career last week, beating Ric Flair. What a waste of everyones time. He was being built to be the brains behind the Eric Bischoff reveal at Billy & Chucks Wedding. He then aligns with Bischoff, gets a massive singles win and this week all the work is undone. Just terrible inconsistent booking. 3MW come out and attack Booker T & Goldust. The main event exposes Flair quite a bit. Its a nothing tag team match lacking any star power. The main event scene on RAW is bare during this time."

[5.0] "I can't give the debut of HurriKane a negative score, but everything else was pretty boring and lame. Nice to see Orton's first match even if it was very nothing and the seeds of Evolution."

[4.0] "Theres been long run of terrible episodes leading up to the Unforgiven PPV, and to be honest there still wasn't a lot to be excited about with the list of credible opponents for Triple H looking slimmer and slimmer in yet another poor episode. The latest one was the strange Bubba push that had been happening only for him to lose to a cheap roll up pin to Ric Flair. I had to question why The Hurricane moved to Raw as he was a great fit for Smackdown's Cruiserweight division, but him and Kane winning the tag titles was a great moment and I'm really digging this version of Kane and I'm sure he won't be ruined in any way *groans*. The most frustrating thing though is the booking for the increasingly popular Booker T! He takes beatdown from 3 Minute Warning and Rico and then when they're done, Goldust runs in to make the save far too late and also gets beaten down. This happens TWICE, on exactly the same show and in exactly the same way! It's an absolutely pointless feud that does nothing for him whatsoever."

[6.0] "This was a decent show as it was much better than the last few weeks and contained four solid matches, which was rare for Raw in 2002."

[5.0] "This was a solid show coming off of the PPV. The big thing coming off the show was Flair turning heel and I thought the follow-up from it was good. Boomer T did a great job throughout the show with his segments. The tag title match which saw a title change was actually well worked. The main event was fine for what it was and helped to establish Flair/HHH as the new top heel act."

"In my opinion, when Kane came back in 2002 and had the 1 month feud with the Un-Americans until the Katie Vick storyline was him at his best! The promos, the personality, the updated look, became a Double Champion, won TLC 4 by himself (Hurricane should have been in that match btw) he was killing it! It was funny when he kissed Terri on this episode after his title win. All the matches felt good with this crowd on this episode. It was cool to see a title change and people bouncing back and forth in 2002 from Raw and Smackdown filled the void that was missing from the not so long ago Monday Night Wars Era. Bubba Ray Dudley almost killed Triple H with botched Powerbomb, instead of going through the table, Triple H's head broke off the end of the table. Useless fun facts based from the episode! This was the 3rd time Big Show and Jeff Hardy had singles matches, Big Show is 2-1. Randy Orton made his Raw debut. Kane wins his 7th World Tag Team Championship with his fourth partner. This is also the second time he won a World Tag Team Championship from Christian."

[7.0] "This episode of Raw had a lot to like. For example, I like the fixation they have with the previous night's angle of making Eric Bischoff get stinkfaced by Rikishi and his big bum. They refer to it a lot and it influences the creation of a non-insignificant portion of the night's card. Big Show vs. Jeff Hardy, man I quite liked this match it was cool, I could probably watch a combo like that all day and not get tired of it. HurriKane forming to beat the bastard UnAmericans was great, an easy simple thing you can enjoy the same way you would if you were a kid watching it. The main event and surrounding segments were ehhh but enough about that, I want to talk about the absolute highlight of this show that Cagematch will never let you in on: The classroom brawl between Christopher Nowinski and Tommy Dreamer. Last week Dreamer insulted Harvard Grad Chris and now Chris invites him into his domain: The classroom. The resulting altercation was spectacular and I urge all reading to check it out"
